Timeline:
Bitcoin goes viral 10 years after launch when price is averaging over $15000.
Everyone spends on average $100-$250 on BTC for Christmas to 'keep up' or because their sudden BTC pro friend promises them that they will get rich.
Bitcoin hits 20k, and most only see £40-£50 profit.
The entire situation above is what's needed to push the price as high as it is. As much as it's a better currency than others, it's still flawed with greed.
Lesson to learn here
Unless you are investing 10k or so plus into Bitcoin, it won't make you rich and won't make you millions because the gains are relative to your investment.
There are 1700 other crypto currencies out there which are much more affordable for the working class. I could name atleast five with major potential and similar percentage gains to bitcoin this year.
